You've reached Poe Dameron. I'm off flying something or trying not to get killed, so go ahead and leave a message and I'll get back to you eventually.

if we're gonna think like that why plan to do anything????
it'll probably be funnier if you can see it in person you know

[flightforfreedom]

exactly

no point planning, just doing, right?

so poke him now, video it, and then do it again when i'm home and it will be even funnier

[There's a pause, though, and then he sends the following:]

i'm just kidding

homesick i guess

[littlemissfutility]

no
planning's important
that's how you get dinner and christmas parties and neighborhoods


besides if i poke him again when you get home he'll be expecting it

[flightforfreedom]

[He doesn't reply immediately, because he's just being an idiot. But he does after a few minutes.]

pretty sure there has got to be a line between
planning
and doing

to make the former seem like it has a point [Wow. Melodramatic there much, Poe? He deletes it, and says instead:]

to keep life interesting

alright, alright, alright

no poking, i get it

[littlemissfutility]

[There is a line, but Beth's not sure she wants to argue the finer points of it right now. Especially over text, especially to someone she can't actually see.

So hey, poking.]

actually maybe i might
he's gonna be so happy to see you he might not even care if i poke him when you're back

[flightforfreedom]

[It is actually pretty fucking sad just how much that raises his mood. Poe hates worrying and second guessing but guess what he's been doing for the last week? That. He's been doing exactly that. But maybe Beth was right and he wouldn't be heading home to Finn just being awkward at him and completely avoiding the subject that Poe is pretty damn sure is going to come up. Maybe Finn actually would be happy?

but damn if any of that is going into text.]

ayyyyy

that's the spirit

[littlemissfutility]

[And it doesn't, which is a pity, since she kind of wants to feel out the situation a little--if only because she was really insistent to Finn that Poe seems into him. It'd be nice to get some reassurance that it still seems like that's true.]

you just wanna see video of him jumping :o)

[flightforfreedom]

got it in one

actually just any video would be good

it's not like you guys have a shortage of video to watch of me

it's only fair

[littlemissfutility]

i'll try

[He's definitely not getting video of her right now, and she's halfway worried that if she tapes Finn startling, he'll end up asking how's your head? or still bleeding? quick enough that she won't be able to cut it off and send it Poe's way. But maybe it'll work.]

no promises
but i'll give it my best shot

[flightforfreedom]

thanks, sport

you're the best

i should probably get back to making sure nothing is actually about to explode on me up here but
uh

if finn asks just let him know that we're alright

i'll try to hit him up later

[littlemissfutility]

[Hours later, a video ends up in Poe's inbox. Sneaking up behind Finn, Beth pokes him. He's less startled than bemused, but she can't help laughing anyway.]

It's for Poe! Come home soon, Poe. Okay, bye.

[And it shuts off.]
